I don't have Heroes of the Fallen Lands. From reading the previous, I gather that they essentially lose little more than the ability to mark, and in exchange they effectively gain a bonus to damage comparable to a sorcerer. They continue to retain their defender AC and HP. Given that the fighter was already pretty insanely damage-heavy already, with multiple attack powers, 4[W] damage powers, close bursts, and pretty much anything else a melee striker could want for, it seems a bit much from where I'm sitting. With that Dex bonus, superior weapons, and access to weapon feats (like Weapon Focus), he should pretty handily trump the sorcerer's damage output, and I'm not sure what a barbarian has to offer in comparison. Seems like he would even overshadow a ranger in the striking department, unthinkable as that might be.
But like I said, I'm just going off sketchy details. Anyone tried this class out? What's the deal?
